Personalizing Your Wedding Cake Design

It is important for the groom to feel a part of the wedding planning process, and for his ideas and tastes to be considered, as this is a special day for both, not just for the bride. He may not have been dreaming of this day for years, but he has opinions and preferences that can be expressed in the cake.

Encourage your fiancée to come in with you and have ideas, ask him questions, incorporate him into your day. We appreciate it when the men come in with an opinion because it makes the cake design more personal to the couple than when the groom just leaves everything up to the bride.

There are several ways to merge his interests in your cake design:

• Incorporate his favorite team's colors or his favorite color in your cake design

• Pick a fun topper to show hobbies, pets, teams, or things you enjoy together

• Order a groom's cake to show off his interests, his hobbies, or his job

One of our brides this weekend did a really good job of representing her groom’s interests in her cake design. He is an Oakland Raiders fan so she had a Raiders topper and used team colors. The silver and black ribbon tied in his favorite team’s colors, while maintaining the fun, girly look she wanted.

                                                           

Last month we had a couple that added their dog to their topper and meaningful song lyrics to the design.  We really liked the way they used their cake to express what is important to them.

                                              

A groom’s cake can be a great surprise, or something you plan together.

This cake was a surprise for an avid bass fisherman.

                                                

This bride was proud of her policeman and wanted a cake to celebrate his devotion to his occupation. It was also a symbol of the bride joining him in his commitment. This would also be a good idea for a firefighter or military groom’s cake.

             

We would love to help you customize your cake. To help us do that, ask your groom for ideas of what he would like on the cake, even for flavor preferences. Be sure to be open to his ideas; don’t dismiss what he says. Bring things you like, invitations, color swatches, pictures of cakes, ideas to personalize your cake, and we’ll help you combine them into one cohesive design.
